I’ve had my Mom with me for about three months. She spends about half the year with me. She’s 83. Today I took her to the doctor, and usually I get valet parking so she can walk right in the building. (It’s a hospital in Miami that the workers at the other branches call the “big house”) Big place. She’s been feeling really good so I parked the car and we walked through the parking lot, all the way through the building to get to her doctor and then back out. Then we stopped at the grocery store and she walked all through the grocery store. Later in the day I took her with me to the vet to get the puppy her shots. She walked all over there. Then we came home and I made a pot of chili and we had dinner. After dinner I told her I was going to take the dogs for a walk. She decides to come with me. We get about 5 houses down and she says to me…..”good thing I came because I just sat around all day today.” I said “Mom, you ran all over today…..to the doctor… to the vet….to the store.” She says “that was TODAY?” I said “ahhhhhh yah, it was.” She stops dead in her tracks and says “I’m going back home, I’m really tired.”

Gotta love her…….
